    I love the style, the song was pretty good, and she did it justice.
    I'll give it a 7.5/10...

    It was decent, but his presentation detracted greatly from what he did with the song...3/10

    Considering the musicals, Stars is one of the greats

    Les Miserables,
    Volume 1, Fifth Book, Chapter 3
    Remember this, my friends: there are no such things as bad plants or bad men. There are only bad cultivators.

    I hate musicals, but I make an exception for Cabaret (because it's more a straight movie complemented by stage performances, and no urchins dance on rooftops between chimney pots).

    For me, this voice is too refined - in the 'processed' sense of that word - and the arrangement too glossy. Like the song a lot though. 5/10


    ---- Damn, overtaken by events.

    So - about the Les Miserables. It's the ultimate 'urchins singing' musical, isn't it?


    3/10


    Meanwhile, in a very different part of the forest....

    4/10

    Bowie doesn't really do it for me. He's one of those people who managed to have a fantastic career despite the fact that he can't really sing. +1 for the sweet mullet.

    Edit: wow that was weird. 4/10. This just reeks of the 80s and not in a good way.

    Why do I still see you in every mirrored window,
    In all that I could never overcome?

    7/10 - It's all right. Not much else to say...

    I think the scoring - except for Classic Charm's - has definately taken a downswing. Are we becoming more critical, or are we running out of our good stuff?

    Brilliant - 9/10.

    Something from a more raw time.

    Nah. I think it's just that popular music - like painting, literature, theatre, dance, fashion, architecture and every other human endeavour - is ninety-nine percent crap. We all appear to agree about that.

    We just disagree about which one percent is any good.

    I will give this little speech 8/10 because of the sentiment it expresses!

    I remember the first time I saw Abba - on TV, winning the Eurovision song contest. I was about eleven. My dad said, Blimey - that woman's got a bum like half an apple.

    I still think that's a compelling simile, though I was shocked at the time to think that my dad noticed women at all, let alone with such anatomical precision.

    It's a good pop song, but no more than that - which I feel is Abba in a nutshell. 7/10.


    Rather more challengingly....

    They were good - very good, but I didn't like them. I won't comment on sparkling costumes suffice to say that I narrowly missed that particular scene for the dowdier punk era, which was much more my scruffy style.

    5/10

    What about some north eastern charm?

    Sorry Mark - I jumped in there. EDIT

    I've always had a soft spot for Lindisfarne which I can't really justify, except that, maybe, they were a sort of English hippy thing I was just too young for. 8/10.
